down from their lofty abodes in the
mountains to the gulches, where they
have supply of clear running water
and plenty of feed in the way of willow
leaves, sarvis and other berries. They
are then very fat and tender, and there
are few, if any, birds more tempting to
the appetite-their round, plump bodies
and delicate white meat affording de-
licious dish for an epicure-and all hunt
ers are epicures. Hearing that they were
unusually plentiful up the West Fork of
the Rio Grande Ia stream that empties
into the main river about fifty miles
above Del Nortel, succeeded in getting
up party to go after them. We took
with us our rods as well as guns, for the
fishing was bound to be good. An inn
portant member of our party was Gay,
the cleyerest little black and-tan terrier
in the world, fearless as bulldog and
ready to tackle anything, from mouse
to bear. We took him to stir up the
grouse from the thick and closely-matted
willow underbrush in which they hide.
The first night out we pitched tent in
Wagon Wheel Gap, beside cluster of
springs which here gush forth large

"The summer is going to be very cool in
Russia" remarked Briggs.
"Why?'' asked Quimby.
"On account of the Nihilists. All risings

Notwithstanding the vigorous crusade
that has been made against the extrava-
gantly tall hats and bonnets, they con
tinue to increase in size, just as though
to indulge that spice of contrariety that
exists in all womapxind. While of course
some of the shapes are moderate in di-
mansions, such as the turbans and
few of the capotes, the majority of
the new straw hats are simply enor-
nous, broadening out into wide brins and
towering with great clusters of flowers,
feathers and high trimming.
Here is one of them. Some seen at the
milliners have even larger brims and are
high in proportion. In this instance the
hat is of dark blue straw plated with

EARTHQUAKE OR WHAT?
What Many Bath People Heard Sum
day Morning.

BATH. Jan. 3-A few minutes before three
o'clock yesterday morning, many of our citi-
zens were aroused from their shmbers by
noise, which somewhat resembled distant
thunder. A slight vibration of few sec
onds duration, followed the noise. A num-
Der who were awakened decides the phenom-
enon as something different from thunder,
still at the time they didn't even give it a
thought of being an earthquake. which it is
now believed to have been.-
Nearly all of those seen today by the re-
porter agree that slight tremor followed
the noise, which is described by some to re-
semble an explosion. One man thought
upon hearing the report that some person
had exploded charge Of dynamite at the
ledge on the line Of the water works in West
Bath. One person who heard the report be-
lieves that twas caused by meteor explod-
ing. Various opinions are given as to
whether the noise.was thunder or something
else, but great mauy believe that it was an
earthquake.

WITH MAINE SHIP CARPENTERS.
The Detroit Dry Dock Company De-
termined to Begin Work.

DETROIT, Jan. IA determined effort will
again be made by the Detroit Dry Dock Com
pany to open its yards, which have been
closed several weeks to all but work previ
ously contracted for. The contest Of the
company with the Knights of Labor arises
from the desire of the former to scale union
wages against the less skilled workmen
They will agree to pay the highest wages
only to the best ship carpenters, but the
knights of Labor assembly refuse to con-
sent to the discrimination. A few weeks
ago about thirty men were brought from
Maine, and when bought off under pledge to
leave the jurisdiction Of the assembly, en-
gagged in work few miles from Detroit, in
violation of their agreement. They have
been sued by the assembly to recover the
money paid them to leave the State, and
thus there is contest between the Knights
of Labor as well as with the Dry Dock Com
pany. This week the Detroit yards will
again be opened, and manned mostly by
Maine ship carpenters, who are coming here
under a contract guaranteeing them $3.50 for
days work for at least six months, and
transportation from Portland to Detroit.
These men are all supposed to be Knights of
Labor, despite the warning of the local as
sembly, published in several Maine papers
There is an immense amount of work to be
done before spring, the season on the lakes
having been paying one, stimulating much
new business and extensive repairs.

discovered that the Cumberland ore mixed
with certain foreign ores, which can be

the very best metal In the country, and that

purposes, Is well adapted for smelling, and

End of the Somerset Breach of
Promise Case.

SKowHEGAN, Jan. 3-The breach of
promise case, Susan f. Emery VS.. Lewis
Fish, has ended. The defendants counsel
contended that the evidence does not show
an express promise to marry. She alleged
an express promise, and the law requires her
to pr owe it. True she states it, as made at
Lowell, May 8, 1881, but the letters i'm
mediately following are not consistent with
such promise, neither was her going to his
house. The judge instructs the jury that an
express promise must be proved, but an ex-
press promise does not mean a promise ex-
pressed in words. An express promise may
be proved by cireumstantial evidence. The
jury may infer the promise from the conduct
of the parties. The verdict was for the
plaintiff for $500.
